    When your cable goes out, you get bored
    When you get bored, you go see an opera
    When you go see an opera, you walk home through a dark alley
    When you walk home through a dark alley, your parents get shot
    When your parents get shot, you swear vengeance on crime
    When you swear vengeance on crime, you become a vigilante dressed like a bat
    And when you become a vigilante dresses like a bat, you fight an insane clown
    Don't fight an insane clown
    Get rid of cable, and switch to Directv

      When you're a genius, you think up these commercials.
      When you think up these commercials, you get paid a lot of money.
      When you get paid a lot of money, you retire to a seaside villa in Malibu.
      When you retire to a seaside villa in Malibu, you start doing research in advanced astrophysics.
      When you start doing research in advanced astrophysics, you discover a wormhole under the floor of your villa.
      When you discover a wormhole under the floor of your villa, you become transported to another time and place.
      When you're transported to another time and place, you crash through the roof of a hotel and land on top of Howard Hughes.
      When you crash through the roof of a hotel and land on top of Howard Hughes, Hughes suffocates under your weight and dies.
      When Hughes suffocates under your weight and dies, he doesn't a chance to found the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (the company that would eventually create DirecTV).
      When he doesn't get a chance to found the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (the company that would eventually create DirecTV), there's no one to pay you for thinking up these commercials.
      When there's no one to pay you for thinking up these commercials, you get depressed.
      When you get depressed, you start sniffing glue.
      When you start sniffing glue, you want to get closer to the source.
      When you want to get closer to the source, you get a job in a glue factory.
      When you get a job in a glue factory, you steal a 55-gallon drum of airplane glue.
      When you steal a 55-gallon drum of airplane glue, you trip and the drum tips over, spilling glue everywhere.
      When you trip and the drum tips over, spilling glue everywhere, you get glued to the floor.
      Don't get glued to the floor. Get rid of cable, and upgrade to DirecTV.

    You have no idea how much I appreciate you posting this compilation. These commercials make me so happy. My favorites will always be the "don't wake up in a roadside ditch" and "don't attend your own funeral as a guy named Phil Schiffly" commercials. Who else is with me in thinking that these commercials are probably developed by DIRECTV employees writing sentences starting with "you" and then followed by an affirmative verb, to start their work days, and then putting those sentences in a hat to be randomly selected later?

    When you parody DirecTV commercials on a video about them, you make people laugh.
    When you make people laugh, you think you're good at making people laugh.
    When you think you're good at making people laugh, you try stand-up.
    When you try stand-up, you get heckled.
    When you get heckled, you snap and assault your heckler.
    When you snap and assault your heckler, you get sued, for a lot.
    When you get sued for a lot, you need a quick way to make a lot.
    When you need a quick way to make a lot, you start a meth lab.
    When you start a meth lab, you need to find someone to sell your meth.
    When you need to find someone to sell your meth, you get involved with the cartel.
    When you get involved with the cartel, you fail to meet deadlines.
    When you fail to meet deadlines, the cartel gets angry.
    And when the cartel gets angry, you get shot through the heart as you sing a Bon Jovi song in the shower.
    Don't get shot through the heart singing a Bon Jovi song in the shower. Don't make funny parodies of ads for DirecTV.

    When you pick up old hobbies, you get into baking.
    When you get into baking, you get really good at it.
    When you get good at it, your spoiled rotten sister asks you to bake her a cake.
    When your spoiled rotten sister asks you to bake her a cake, you bake an extravagant one.

    Ladies and gentlemen, the best example of the Slippery Slope Fallacy. And when we're on the topic, let's do an example like this compilation.
    When you get sick of Direct tv, you go to the movies.
    When you go to the movies, you find a pretty girl.
    When you find a pretty girl, you spend time with her.
    When you spend time with her, you end up at a hotel.
    When you end up at a hotel, you make love.
    When you make love, she tells you to marry her.
    When she tells you to marry her, you feel pressured.
    When you feel pressured, you go to the hotel bar.
    And when you go to a hotel bar, you end up wasted with a pregnant lady on your doorstep.
    Don't end up wasted with a pregnant lady on your doorstep, get cable back and don't get Direct tv.

    When you can't find your favorite shows on basic cable channels, you get frustrated.
    When you get frustrated, you need to clear your head.
    When you need to clear your head, you go fishing.
    When you go fishing, you're kidnapped by a genocidal alien.
    When you get kidnapped by a genocidal alien, you're given the powers of three furries from another dimension.
    When you're given the powers of three furries from another dimension, you're brainwashed into a planet-wide blood sport.
    When you're brainwashed into a planet-wide blood sport, you start killing things.
    When you start killing things, a zoologist and his four furry friends make you good again.
    When a zoologist and his four furry friends make you good again, you're haunted by delusions of the furries whose powers you're using.
    When you're haunted by delusions of the furries whose powers you're using, you get depressed about the least little things.
    Don't get depressed about the least little things.
    Get rid of cable and upgrade to DirecTV.

    When you wait forever for the cable guy, you get bored
    when you get bored, you throw things
    when you throw things, people think you have anger issues
    when people think you have anger issues, you get angry
    when you get angry, you make a surprise visit home
    And when you make a surprise visit home, your house explodes
    Don't have you house explode, get rid of cable and switch to DirectTV

    When your cable goes out, you decide to listen to this advert and switch to DirecTV.
    When you switch to DirecTV, so do all your friends.
    When all your friends switch to DirecTV, they stop making these adverts.
    Don't let them stop making these adverts. Keep your crappy cable and DON'T call 1800-DIRECTV.

    When you have cable and your picture freezes, you get stressed.
    When you get stressed you go to the gym with your best friend
    When you go to the gym with your best friend, you steal a bag of Doritos
    When you steal a bag of Doritos, you both share the bag of Doritos,
    And when you both share the bag of Doritos, you and your friend get attacked by a Doritos samurai named Tim.
    Don't get attacked by a Doritos samurai named Tim, get DirectTv.
